Grids
When you start AutoREALM, a blank map is created for you. The default is a square cyan grid background, which you can change to suit your tastes with the Graph Paper Toolbar (shown below). You can also copy the grid settings from another map by opening that map and selecting File | New from the menu.

Colors
The color toolbar lets you change the colors for the map as a whole and for individual objects. If you hover the mouse cursor over one of the color buttons, AutoREALM will tell you the button's purpose. For any of the color buttons, clicking on the button will open a color palette. Choose the color you want, or pick Custom to select a color not on the palette. Some buttons (i.e. fill color and outline color) allow selection of No Color if you want that color to be invisible. No color is shown with an "X" (the fourth button from the left in the picture).
